SFP transceiver BlueOptics BO05C13610D 1000BASE-LX 10 km

The BlueOptics BO05C13610D is a compact SFP transceiver module designed for 1000BASE-LX gigabit Ethernet links over single-mode fiber with a reach of up to 10 km. This hot-pluggable module enables reliable optical connectivity for switches, routers and media converters, allowing network administrators to extend and upgrade fiber links without replacing entire devices. The module conforms to standard SFP form factor dimensions and interfaces, providing interoperability with a wide range of network equipment that supports SFP 1 Gbps ports.

Advantages

The BlueOptics 1000BASE-LX SFP offers straightforward installation through hot-pluggable operation and a small form factor that saves space in rack-mounted equipment. Its single-mode fiber support and 10 km reach simplify link extension and backbone connections in campus or metro networks. The module is built to industry optics standards to ensure predictable performance and compatibility with common network hardware.

How to use

Power down is not required for installation; insert the SFP transceiver into a compatible SFP slot on a switch, router or media converter until it seats firmly. Connect LC duplex single-mode fiber patch cables to the module, observing correct transmit/receive orientation. Configure the network device port as needed for 1 Gbps operation and verify link status and diagnostics through the device management interface. When removing the module, follow the equipment vendor's hot-swap procedure and handle the optical interfaces with dust caps to protect the fiber ends.

Recommendations

For reliable operation, use single-mode LC patch cables of appropriate attenuation and maintain clean fiber connectors. Verify the transceiver compatibility list of your network equipment and ensure firmware supports standard SFP modules. Keep spare dust caps on the transceiver when not in use and avoid exposing the optical ports to contaminants or mechanical stress.
